Another tip - if you can't speak your husband's language fluently, find an american side buddy who would be willing to communicate with the family back home in case of emergency.

What good will it do his family there? You mean if he dies, has $1million policy, has a will that says you get 1/4 and the rest goes to his parents, you're telling me $750,000 won't do them any good there?

Interesting topic. I am surprised that allot more people have not even talked about this stuff in passing. I have seen so many families that have not talked about and then something happened and they are total lost.

I don't want my stuff bottled up in probate if I can help it.

I think everyone woman should learn about the Islamic Law as it pertains to Inheritence. I am learning about it and I am very shocked at some of the things I am learning and trying to comprehend it.

I had a discussion with a friend of mine last night about what our husbands wanted done with their bodies if they should pass. Her comment was if he doesnt want insurance to send his body back home then he will be burried where I see fit. Then I asked her but what about his wishes. She said that if she had to pay he would be buried here. Interesting.

My husband wants to go back to Morocco also, therefore I asked about insurance and he his comment was very distrubing to me. I am trying to learn what is the custom for Islamic burial. Can someone point me to the guidelines.

NO I AM NOT TRYING TO KILL MY HUSBAND.

I am trying to some goals and afairs together and these are some things that I need to discuss.

What is it that is disturbing, and what do you want to know exactly?

I guess I am disturbed about that they dont think about the love ones they leave behind and they don't really look out for the future (I am not saying all). I am totally a babe as it comes to learning about Islam and the Muslim way of life. Yes I discussed allot with him husband before he came here but there are things that are discussed once you are trying to live as husband and wife.

disturbed is the wrong word I guess more shocked is a better word to use.

How don't they? I don't mean this to sound challenging (cannot convey tone), but I am curious what you mean.

I have thought about these things but never discussed them with my husband. None of it will do either of us any good at this point anyway. He's not here. I will brind it up the next time I talk to him online.

Shortly after Mohammed came to America, I lost a co-worker in a car accident. I asked Mohammed that IF that had happened to him where would he want to be buried. He said 'Jordan of course'. He said to leave those details to his male relatives here. And, no, it was not a subject he wanted to discuss any further.

From my understanding they dont believe in life insurance or create wills. I do understand that those that can buy property and it gets passed on (not equally).

Can you give me some examples of how Islamic protect their families for the future?

I am trying to gain knowledge. I can only go by what someone tells me or what I may have read in passing.

I know some Americans dont plan for the future.

a real sign of the times in mena - when one has to put a disclaimer in her post to ward off attacks.

and don't blame you for putting that in, frndly1.
